Weighted Compression Changes Your Physiology

About this video

In a short clip, Brecka demonstrates the weighted compression vests he wears while traveling and training, describing them as a favorite travel hack that adds no time to his day. He claims adding distributed weight and compression to walks and workouts improves metabolism, builds lean muscle and fights age-related muscle wasting (sarcopenia), and says the snug design distributes load along the spine and torso so he can still move, train and even run in it. He says the benefit becomes obvious when the vest comes off after a walk.

Key takeaways

• Brecka presents wearable weight as a biohack that requires no extra time in the day
• He claims weight combined with compression outperforms weight alone for metabolic effect
• Brecka argues the practice helps counter sarcopenia, the age-related loss of muscle
